Potpourri Ideas: Apple Potpourri

This apple potpourri is a fragrant blend perfect for Summer, Fall (omg is it almost here?), and Winter. You can make this beautiful potpourri blend with dried apple slices, dried bay leaves, pear pods, apple pods, twistie pods, and pine cones. You can add apple fragrance oil to enhance the scent.
This blend also contains one of my favorite potpourri ingredients – cedar roses:

They are cones that are shaped like roses. These cute cones go perfectly not only in a rustic primitive potpourri blend but also a pretty flowery blend. They are actually the bottoms and insides of the cones of the Deodar Cedar tree. When the full cones fall off the trees they start to break down and what remains are these cute little rose shaped parts of the cones. All of these ingredients are available in potpourri supply stores. You can even find some of them in health food stores and aromatherapy supply stores. You can find so many wonderful ingredients in these stores and you can work this blend according to your tastes and preferences, adding whatever ingredients and fragrances you fancy.

I am identifying each color by it's hexadecimal code. These hexadecimal color codes are six digit codes identifying each color by the intensity of the red, green, and blue values contained within them. Each hexadecimal code is contains a hashtag symbol followed by six digits consisting of numbers, letters, or a combination of both.
You can find colors and their corresponding hexadecimal codes with this chart and if you click on each color you will find more detailed lighter and darker shades of that particular color and other complementary colors.

Book Recommendations

I have come upon many helpful, handy, and beautiful fragrance crafting books that have gone out-of-print but are still available at great low prices. You can find them by either browsing old/used book shops and online at websites such as the Amazon and Barnes & Noble marketplaces and also Alibris and Abe Books.

I am recommending some of my favorite fragrance crafting books with projects that I have found to imaginative and artistic. From flower crafts, herb crafts, spice crafts, soap, bath and body, etc., you will find lovely ideas and projects and since the books are no longer in print, you can get unbelievable low prices. Sometimes you can find used copies for as low as $.99 USD.

*I am getting no monetary commissions or other benefits by recommending these books. I am recommending them because I want to share these delightful crafting ideas that you will also hopefully find creatively inspiring.
